Tomoka State Park


This state park is located just north of Daytona Beach on a peninsula that splits the Tomoka and Halifax Rivers.  The campground has 97 sites.  The interior roads are mostly dirt and rough to drive on.  The campsites are great for tents and small RVs,  but tough for bigger rigs.
 
The park has an interesting history.  It was once the site of an old Indian Village as the sign above explains.
 
At the north end of the park is this large and very unusual monument to Chief Tokomie of the Indian Tribe that lived here.  It is in disrepair and is starting to crumble with its 60 year old age.  (We know the feeling)
 
The park has this camp store and a marina.  The store rents boats and also sells beer and wine.  It has live entertainment on the weekends.
 
 Just south of the state park property are some very nice houses that sit on the Halifax River (which is part of the Florida Intercostal Waterway).   This one was for sale.  We looked up the realtor website and saw that it was listed at $1,750,000.
